Comment	For a period of 2 weeks from the last day you were at work, it would be a good idea to spend as little time as possible in the same areas. So even if you can't fully live in the shed, the more time you could spend there the better. If you're in the house together try to stay in your own room with the door closed, and open windows to let fresh air circulate. When you've used the kitchen make sure you clean all surfaces and door handles etc you've touched with anti bacterial cleaner. Would be best if you could wear a mask as well. Use gloves if you have them too, but be aware that you often touch the outside of the gloves to put them on so they're not fully safe. If you're going to cough or sneeze try to move out of the shared area, or if not do it straight into a tissue then into the bin. You say you share kitchen stuff, but it would be a good idea for these 2 weeks to each use your own things as much as possible. So if you can both just stick to your own plate, cutlery, food etc to the extent you can then do that. If not, be extra thorough when washing. If you share a bathroom then again you want to be cleaning and wiping down everything you've touched each time you use it. In short, you can live together safely, but you basically just need to be on high alert of your own behaviour for the next 2 weeks. Act as if you have the virus, and so any time you touch something make sure you clean it, and try to spend the minimum amount of time possible breathing the same air. If you have been in a shared area for some time without wearing a mask then try to ventilate it as much as possible. Good luck. Will be tough on your mum if she can't leave the house so I hope you get to work from home and that allows you to be low risk enough to spend time with her.
